BRUSSELS – A Belgian judge has ordered Mohamed Abrini, a suspect in attacks claimed by the Islamic State organization in Brussels and Paris, held in custody for two more months.
The judge's decision on Thursday was announced by the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office.
Four other people suspected of involvement in the March 22 suicide bombings in Belgium's capital were ordered held for two more months. The judge ordered another month of pretrial detention for two additional suspects.
